    Can't delete a file

    Once you killed explorer.exe, just run "command" and you will get the window. Glad to hear you got the evil bastich in the end.

    Weird CD-ROM behavior

    That may have stopped Autoplay etc, but you should still have access to the files when you click on the drive in Windows Explorer.

    Brrrrrrrr....so bloody cold

    LOL, did anyone see Al Gore proclaiming Bush as the harbinger of global warming in NYC the other day? When it was below 0 degrees F? Still the same old Gore.

    That's what remote start is for. I'm getting it installed as soon as the car gets out of the collision shop. I sort of agree with you Doug about closing the schools. In our school district the bus stops right at our house, so there is no need to walk to a bus stop. But in Rochester City...

    Best movie you've seen

    One time I was at the cinema and they had issues with the sound, I believe it drops down to a Pro-logic mix when it can't read the digital signal. Biggest annoyance was when watching the Two Towers at the cinema, at the start the tardo projectionist hadn't dropped in the anarmorphic lens, wasn't...

    Another PayPal question...

    If the seller says payment within ten days / week then that's perfectly acceptable. If he leaves you negative feedback for not paying within 10 days then leave him some back.

    4*4 is fine for acceleration, but it doesn't help jack s$$$ when you want to stop. I'd rather have a FWD with snow tires than a 4*4 with all-seasons.

    A quick question for those with HT processors, is it better to run one or two instances of the client? Is there a speed penalty? It seems a shame to have the "virtual" CPU doing nothing. (Using XP Pro)

    This is the one I upgraded to 2.4GHz 800fsb P4 for $99. Also when I bought it the instant discount was $150. But still not bad for the money. It uses one of the Dell green vents that exuasts straight to the outside. I think I can definitely sleep with this one on.[/url]

    DVD Shrink 3.1.1 Released

    DVD Shrink doesn't do anything with the audio streams, it can only strip out ones you don't want. Good thing too. I only notice a loss of quality when it is a really big movie, for example Forrest Gump etc. Others that are only slightly over 4.5GB have no apparent quality loss.

    Brrrrrrrr....so bloody cold

    It was -12F on Saturday, with windchill that came to about -30C. Coldest weather I've ever experienced, glad it's not deer season. Plus the OEM tires on the rental Altima are absolutely shithouse, no traction at all. Hope to get the Blizzaks on the road this week.

    [NEWS] - Apple launches iPod mini 20 years after Mac

    Hmm not a bad price for the storage/size. Of course that depends on whether it appears as a mass storage device in Windows... Add some kind of CF adapter and it could a nice digital photo storage device, those 4GB Microdrives aint cheap.

    Return of the king

    Watched it with the wife the other day, originally I went to watch it on Boxing Day but it sold out before I could get a ticket.

    Well I finally dragged the wife to the Verizon store to upgrade her old phone, and to get me a new one, to add as a Family Talk line.

    Athlon64 3000 - who's taking the $215 plunge?

    I believe the first Prescotts will still be 478 pins, but of course "incompatible" with current mobos. God forbid you would want to upgrade your computer without throwing the old mobo out!

    What did Santa bring you?

    Well looks like Santa had a sneaky late present of coal, in the form of a deer which ran straight into the side of the car. Took out the passenger front door, and right headlight. All I saw was his/her head before Bham!, impact. A few hairs on the front bumper and a ton of deer poop on the...

    Photosystem for an Optical Shop

    What happens if my office falls below our agreed upon monthly print volume? How will I be billed?

    Photosystem for an Optical Shop

    According to that site, it costs $174.99 for five sticks of either C, M or Y, giving 7,000 pages at 5%. Assuming we are printing photos at 100% coverage, that gives us 350 full pages. 3*$174.99=$524.97. About $1.50 per page, not taking into account the cost of black sticks. Not all that much...

    Does anyone remember when ...

    On a sad side note, I finally realised why 2003 Server wasn't playing any audio for me. Apart from the fact I didn't have any speakers plugged in, I didn't have the sound card in the computer either. Perhaps marriage has melted my marbles.
